How to put out a fire

[MetalRenard]

The fire is ablaze and the buildings are crumbling. I feel transported once again to the fire, the great fire of London that saw my precious home destroyed. I look at the device on my wrist, the TimeZ-1500, it's what displaces time and space allowing me to travel the time line. Wood is crackling and roofs are falling, people are screaming, all the noise of pain and despair is overwhelming but it is time to take action!

I take a look at what meagre resources I have... A bucket, rendered useless by it's small size, and my time travel device. Then it hits me. It is an arduous task but it's the only thing I can do...

I hit "Time location Fix" on my wrist device which locks onto the current time. I grab the bucket, rush to the river and fill it up. I hit "BackWards<<<" and POOF I'm back to two minutes ago but this time armed with a bucket of water. I empty it on a small flame then refill it and hit "BackWards<<<" again. POOF, the flame i put out is gone and I have another bucket of water.

About a day later in my time but barely 15 seconds later in real time, the fire is out.

Then a thought struck me... Why didn't I just teleport back to when the fire was small...?! I go to flick the switch and input the data but my TimeZ-1500 has run out of battery, I am stuck in the present...


P.S. Epic thread idea Jacket!
